Enhancon Solutions: Pushing Supergravity to its Limits

Abstract

We extend the investigation of nonextremal enhancons, finding the most general solutions with the correct symmetry and charges. There are two families of solutions. One of these contains a solution with a regular horizon found previously; this previous example is shown to be the unique solution with a regular horizon. The other family generalises a previous nonextreme extension of the enhancon, producing solutions with shells which satisfy the weak energy condition. We argue that identifying a unique solution with a shell requires input beyond supergravity.
